Here We Stand
Explore peace, conflict and identity in this new exhibition.
Sundays: 12-4pm
Young Creators from Bradford, Derry and Sarajevo explore peace, conflict and identity in this new exhibition.
Here We Stand is an exhibition of short films created for Bradford 2025 by young people whose cities and lives have been shaped by conflict and activism. Explore a collection of bold, personal, and deeply reflective films, each offering a glimpse into how young people today experience and imagine peace in the context of their everyday realities.
Developed with BAFTA-nominated film producer Elhum Shakerifar (A Syrian Love Story/Almost Heaven), Here We Stand brings together young voices from three cities, each with rich and varied social histories.
Working in partnership with Bradford’s The Peace Museum, the UK’s only museum dedicated to peace and protest, Museum of Free Derry dedicated to preserving and presenting the history of Derry during the pivotal period from 1968 to 1972, and War Childhood Museum (Sarajevo) the world’s largest archive of stories about growing up during war, this international project invites reflection on the past and wishes for the the future, all told through the eyes of a new generation.
